PREFACE.

The object of this volume is two-fold. It supplies very full and comprehensive vocabularies of the words

required by the tourist or traveller, visitor or resident abroad, health or pleasure seeker, and professional or

business man, together with a large number of conversational sentences of a typical and practical character.The words and phrases are classified according to subject, and the phonetic pronunciation of every word is

added in accordance with Marlborough's simple and popular system of phonetics.

With the aid of this book anyone may undertake a trip to a foreign land, even if he know nothing of the

language of the country he is going to, and, if he will put himself beforehand in communication with

Esperantists in the various places he intends to visit, he will find them ready to help him in many ways, and

his stay abroad will thus be made much more entertaining and instructive than if he had spent his time in

the conventional manner of the ordinary tourist. A further great advantage of this international language is,

that it opens up to the traveller, not merely one particular country, but the whole of Europe.

The book also aims at affording a practical guide to Esperanto for the student, who will find, in the section

on Grammar, all that he needs to give him full insight into and grasp of the language, enabling him with

very little effort to read, write and speak correctly.

By joining an Esperanto Group the learner may have frequent opportunity of conversational practice, and

he will soon find that it is by no means a difficult matter to become as fluent in the auxiliary language as in

his mother-tongue.1

Esperanto is not merely a language for tourists, but already possesses a rich literature of considerable

extent, the beginnings of that "Weltlitteratur" foreseen by Goethe; it has a press of its own representing

every country of importance in the world, and is constantly being made use of for professional purposes by

doctors, scientists, teachers, lawyers, soldiers, sailors, merchants, etc., in every quarter of the globe. It is

undoubtedly destined, ere many years have passed, to become a very important factor in the progress of the

world.

THE ESPERANTO ALPHABET

(WITH PHONETIC PRONUNCIATION).

The Esperanto Alphabet has 28 letters23 consonants, 5 vowels:

Characters. Name and English Pronunciation.Phonetics

used.

A, a (ah) like a in father orpa; as patro (pah'troh). In unaccented syllables it

should not be dwelt upon, and in all cases it should be pronounced quitepurely, without the slight drawling r-sound which is sometimes added to thecorresponding vowel in English ah

B, b (bo) as in English b

C, c (tsoh) like ts ingets, hits, and never as in English; as caro (tsah'roh) ts

, (cho) like ch in church; as asi (chah'see) chD, d (do) as in English, but with tip of tongue placed on back of teeth instead of on

front ridge of roof of mouth d

E, e (eh) like e in bendpronounced broadly, ora in hate shortly pronounced, butquite pure, entirely without the slight drawling ee-sound often heard after the

English vowel; as beno (beh'noh) e, eh

F, f (fo) as in English f

G, g (go) likegingo,give, asgasto (gah'stoh), and never likegingem, allege g

, (jo) likegingem,general, andj injovial; aseni (jeh'nee) jH, h (ho) as in English h

, (o) like ch in Scotch loch, ch in German hoch, j in Spanish mujer. Thisguttural sound is practically a very strongly aspirated h, and may be made by

trying to pronounce "ho" with the throat arranged as for saying k:oro

(khoro), ino (khino) khI, i (ee) like ee in seen, as li (lee). In unaccented syllables, and before two

consonants together, this i practically becomes the i in it or in wind; asferminte (fehrr-min'teh) ee, i

J, j (yo) always likey inyet, asjes (yehss), vojo (vo'yo), and never likej injudge,

joke y

It should be remembered thatj is always a consonant, with the sound of theEnglish y in you. Of course, when j occurs at the end of a word or before a

consonant, it practically unites with the preceding vowel to form a diphthong,

and loses the full consonantal sound which it has before a vowel. Thus:

ahy

[5]

[6]




5/104

Aj (ahy), like ah y in ah yes (almost like in my); as kaj (kah'y), rajdi(rah'y-dee), krajono (krah-yo'no)

Ej (ehy), like ay y insay yes; asplej (pleh'y, one syllable) ehy

Oj (oy), like oh y in oh yes (almost like oy in toy); as ranoj (rah'noy),

kojno (koy'noh) oy

Uj (ooy), like oo y in too young; as tuj (too'y, one syllable), prujno(proo'yno, two syllables) ooy

, (zho) like s in vision orpleasure, orj in French jeune, j'ai; as eti

(zheh'tee) zhK, k (ko) as in English k

L, l (lo) as in English l

M, m (mo) as in English m

N, n (no) as in English n

O, o (oh) like o in horse, not diphthongized, but pronounced purely and rathershortly, as bona (boh'nah NOT bow'nah), quite without the short oo-sound frequently heard with the English vowel in such words as note,

boat. Its sound is almost equivalent to aw in caw, pronounced shortlyand with the lips placed roundly as if for saying oh; as estonta (ess-

tohn'tah) o, oh

P, p (po) as in English p

R, r (ro) as in English, but sounded much more forcibly, and always with atrillas in singing; as korpo (kohr'po) r

S, s (so) like s in say, as suno (soo'noh), and never as s in rose; as pesi(peh'see) s, ss

, (sho) likesh inshow,she; asipo (shee'poh) shT, t (to) as in English, but dentallywith tip of tongue placed on back of

teeth instead of on front ridge of roof of mouth t

U, u (oo) like oo in boot, as nubo (noo'boh); and never as u in mute orbut oo

, (wo) is equivalent to the English w, and is produced by a partialbringing togetherof the lips. It practically only occurs aftera ore w, (1)A. To say anta, for instance, say "ahn'tah," and finish by bringingthe lips slightly together to pronounce the (w). Similarly for lata(lah'w-tah). This sound is not exactly the English ou in house, but is justthe au in the GermanHaus. The phonetic sign fora, therefore is ahw(2)E, as in Eropo (ehw-ro'poh), is pronounced with a similar closing

of the lips after the eh-sound ehwV, v (vo) as in English v

Z, z (zo) as in English z

PRELIMINARY NOTES.

In order to make the best progress in acquiring the words and sentences in the following pages, the student

is recommended to learn a few at a time by repeating them aloud with the aid of the phonetic pronunciation

in the third column.

Although the system of phonetics may seem a little cumbersome, practice will soon enable the student to

pronounce the words easily and naturally. The following notes will be useful:

1. Accent.In Esperanto, every letter, whether vowel or consonant, is sounded. The accented syllable

of a word is always the last but one. Thus, nobla (noh'blah), irado(ee-rah'do), telefono (teh-leh-foh'no),

internacia (in-tehr-naht-see'ah),folio (fohlee'oh).

It should be borne in mind that j and are consonants, and do not, like the vowels, of themselvesconstitute a syllable. Thus, tiu (tee'oo, two syllables) and tiuj (tee'ooy, also twosyllables), rajdi (rah'y-dee,

not rah-'dee), anta (ahn'tahw, notahn-tah').

2. The vowels, a, e, i, o, u, should in Esperanto be pronounced quite purely, and entirely without any

drawling after-sound. Many English speakers diphthongize a, i, o, and pronounce late as "la-it," pale as

[7]

[8]




6/104

"pa-il," paperas "pa-y-per,"roadas "row-d," etc. This habit of drawling the vowels, when transferred to

Esperanto, thus: Mi ne povas bone paroli, mee'y nay'ee poh'-vah(r)ss boh'-nehy pah(r)-roh'-leey,immediately reveals the nationality of the speaker.

There is also an inclination to interpose an r-sound betweenla ("the") and a word beginning with a vowel,

thus: la(r)eblecoinstead ofla ebleco, la(r)internacia lingvo instead ofla internacia lingvo, etc. This should

be avoided.

3. Combinations of Consonants. There are a few consonantal combinations which offer a slight

difficulty to English beginners, viz.,gv, kn, kv,sc. The combinationsgv, kn, and kv, as ingvidi (gvee'dee),

knabo (knah'bo), kvieto (kvee-eh'toh), may be practised by first placing a vowel before the g or k, and

gradually suppressing it. Thus, first say la knabo (lahk-nah'bo), and gradually drop the "lah," until finally

knabo can be said without difficulty.

The combinationsc, as insceno (stseh'no), may be learnt thus: Say "last sane" several times, very distinctly

pronouncing thestand the s, then gradually "'st sane", and finally sceno (stseh'no) without any preceding

vowel-sound. When this combination follows a vowel, as in mi scias, it should cause no difficulty, for thes

is easily pronounced with the first syllable, thus: meess-tsee'ahss.
